I HATE HAMLET
Troy Civic Theatre
Sept. 15-24
[Troy]
Directed by Erin Gibbons
Cast: Madison Wells as Felicia Dantine, Doug Gibbons as Andrew Rally, Michelle Peterson as Deirdre McDavey, Grace Conkel as Lillian Troy, Michael Schumacher as John Barrymore & Derek Dunavent as Gary Peter Lefkowitz
Actor Andrew Rally has it all – a hit TV series, beautiful girlfriend, a devoted agent, the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park, and the perfect NYC apartment. However, as his life starts to fall apart, the ghost of John Barrymore is summoned during a séance. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor’s destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance of Andrew’s deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park.
